Using YouTube guitar lessons to learn guitar or get better at it has become something of a no-brainer these days, but still, some advice is good and some simply isn't. What I feel is most important for students who are just getting started is to get all of their eggs lined up properly. In other words, if you take the time to develop a game plan, it will make the progression of learning guitar using YouTube videos a lot easier, as well as making your YouTube searching more efficient.

Keep yourself on track. Try your best not to get too distracted by trying too many things at once. I think Bing is really on to something with this search overload thing. You may even want to go so far as to find written lessons that support the videos that you find, print them off, and put them in a binder for later review.

Start a special bookmarking folder so that you can easily bookmark the videos that you find. You may even want to number them in order of what you should work on. When I was younger and first getting started with guitar playing, I found that watching videos of my favorite guitarists made learning to play the wonderful instrument a lot easier.

Pay particular attention to the comments and not so much the ratings of videos. Its common for people to go in a poorly rate a video for absolutely no reason. Look at the comments instead. If the comments are irrelevant, or are just slandering - disregard them, but if the comments lean in the direction that this particular your guitar lesson video helped people - try applying the lesson to your own playing.
